Israeli Official: Erekat Putting On 'a Show'

Responding on Thursday night to reports of PLO negotiator Saeb Erekat’s resignation from peace talks, a senior Israeli official said the PA was putting on “a show” in advance of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to the region next week.

"The Secretary of State will land in the region next week and the Palestinian Authority is trying to pressure Israel into additional gestures," the official said.
